Unfortunately, I have been waitlisted at two MSTPs, but I have been accepted to their MD programs. However I am really interested in attending one of the MSTPs at which I have been waitlisted. My girlfriend also attends the undergrad program of the school as well. Do I email the director of the program to express my continued interest or what? I will appreciate any advice in this regard.
As a backup, I applied to top biomedical PhD programs at which I have also been fortunate to receive two acceptances. It turns out that while I am interested in translational research, I see myself doing more research than anything else as a faculty. Do I go with the MD, assuming I don't get off the waitlists, or do I get a PhD from a top 3 biomedical graduate program? Any thoughts will be duly welcome.
